PSU has commits from 4 out of top 5 VA athletes or 5 out of the top 10.
Hoakie82 • 04/23/22 10:59 PM ET
Pry's going to have to roll up his sleeves. There is much work to be done.**

Some kids do not want to stay close to home

These days ya just buy your players. The burg needs more
fordham • 04/25/22 12:52 PM ET
Sugar daddies, to be precise.**

Portal back once they lift a few years**
DaveVT • 04/24/22 04:22 PM ET
We were in a deep hole, that ironically Pry put us in, but with time he can
Stech • 04/24/22 03:43 PM ET
No …
VPI63 • 04/24/22 07:45 PM ET
Lots of dead horse stuff around but do you realize what you just said?
VTCALS72 • 04/25/22 07:45 AM ET
The negative 757 stuff
crazylane • 04/25/22 12:30 PM ET
The coaches did have respect for Frank, but they didn't have control of the
NokieHokie • 04/25/22 01:15 PM ET
Agree on that**
VTCALS72 • 04/25/22 08:36 PM ET
For the last several years of Beamer, 757 blue chippers
VTCALS72 • 04/25/22 12:36 PM ET
You saying FU recruited VA hard? get out!**
OldRetiredHokie • 04/25/22 08:53 AM ET
So you are saying Pry didn't land kids from Virginia at Penn State?
Stech • 04/24/22 07:51 PM ET
Thank you do have another comment
Mercury • 04/25/22 02:07 PM ET
Agreed, I'm skeptical of new coach bump, often built on early PT promises.
Stech • 04/25/22 04:03 PM ET
This one has stuff and points I can agree with
VTCALS72 • 04/25/22 07:55 AM ET
Yeah I agree that went on, but it’s like fighting technology, adapt or die
Stech • 04/25/22 08:00 AM ET
True but the handlers aren't like technology, which can be adapted to.
VTCALS72 • 04/25/22 08:20 AM ET
Agree Pry is beginning with us at a time of huge change. That might be
VTCALS72 • 04/25/22 08:05 AM ET
I’m saying that FU didn’t compete and..
VPI63 • 04/24/22 07:56 PM ET
More like PSU and the bluebloods had been there all along
VTCALS72 • 04/25/22 07:50 AM ET
I agree.**
Stech • 04/24/22 08:01 PM ET
No offense meant what so ever but how did Pry put is in a deep hole? **
SCHokie1103 • 04/24/22 05:44 PM ET
I'm presuming because he recruited them to PSU**
TomTurkey • 04/24/22 06:09 PM ET
He recruited and landed a bunch of Virginia kids while at Penn State, now
Stech • 04/24/22 06:08 PM ET
That assumes that the reason PSU won those battles is due to something
VTCALS72 • 04/25/22 08:03 AM ET
We'll never know because Fu hardly tried**
OldRetiredHokie • 04/25/22 08:55 AM ET
Fear you bought into coachspeak and playerspeak
VTCALS72 • 04/25/22 12:15 PM ET
What's that have to do with the schools that never heard from him?**
OldRetiredHokie • 04/25/22 04:06 PM ET
I know PSU’s always recruited VA but I don’t recall any one school getting
Hoakie82 • 04/24/22 06:29 PM ET
Talk about old news.**

For someone who purports themself to be educated, he has terrible spelling

"Get close to every player handler in the state"... sticky 1o1.
bourbonstreet • 04/24/22 04:54 PM ET
Catch up in the biggest relation$hip**
VTCALS72 • 04/24/22 03:48 PM ET
Doesn’t work that way. PSU got there by building relationships. 4-5 months
VTizzle • 04/24/22 12:51 PM ET
Lol I don’t know why people don’t realize this is how it works. Heck even
uvabasher • 04/24/22 01:03 PM ET
Nick Saban @ Bama, or Nick Saban at first job?
HWA • 04/25/22 04:06 PM ET
Referring to first job but even that class although top 10, wasn’t on to
uvabasher • 04/25/22 07:20 PM ET
We have a lot of posters here who apparently didn’t like the hire
sacramento hokie • 04/24/22 09:12 PM ET
Exactly right Basher and neither did Dabo turn it around over night. **
SCHokie1103 • 04/24/22 05:47 PM ET
People just don't want to face reality, PSU is a national blueblood
VTCALS72 • 04/24/22 11:58 AM ET
They are a blueblood but not at the top of the list.
HokiePail • 04/25/22 09:34 AM ET
Yep. Bama doesn't want most of the VA talent
VTCALS72 • 04/25/22 12:19 PM ET
Agree w/ the first part, but we have beaten all those schools for recruits
Stech • 04/24/22 03:47 PM ET
I believe he can because he’s been at a blue blood and he gets it and what
SCHokie1103 • 04/24/22 05:50 PM ET
I agree.**
Stech • 04/24/22 06:10 PM ET
Seems to me that PSU and UNC have pretty much taken whom they have wanted
VTCALS72 • 04/24/22 03:52 PM ET
We have beaten both of them many times with Virginia kids, but not the last
Stech • 04/24/22 04:35 PM ET
Not entirely accurate......
2hhoop3 • 04/24/22 03:59 PM ET
For a little while and maybe not the volume but still garnered big names.
VTCALS72 • 04/24/22 05:20 PM ET
Given that the era of college football when Dooley came to Blacksburg
VTHokie2000 • 04/24/22 04:47 PM ET
I am not sure....
2hhoop3 • 04/24/22 06:04 PM ET
I know the money
crazylane • 04/24/22 01:37 PM ET
You still don't get the point, its not about royal football or Bball
VTCALS72 • 04/24/22 03:45 PM ET
You have violated the rules of sensibility
HOKIEGOBBLE • 04/24/22 04:49 PM ET
Let me know where VT beating anybody means squat on the national scene
VTCALS72 • 04/24/22 05:28 PM ET
If VT had done a better job of carpe diem the momentum that was gained
VTHokie2000 • 04/24/22 05:01 PM ET
Different time so maybe. **
VTCALS72 • 04/24/22 05:29 PM ET
If you look at the blue bloods, then you will see they struck when the iron
VTHokie2000 • 04/24/22 05:33 PM ET
I don't disagree that VT did not maximize the success on the field way back
VTCALS72 • 04/24/22 05:38 PM ET
College football in the 1980s wasn't that different than college football
VTHokie2000 • 04/24/22 05:43 PM ET
I totally get the point
crazylane • 04/24/22 04:40 PM ET
Look how long big media continues to affix their lips to the posteriors of
VTCALS72 • 04/24/22 05:35 PM ET
I think everyone recognizes that Nebraska is lost.
Truthahn • 04/25/22 12:13 PM ET
Point is, Neb has been like Miami backness
VTCALS72 • 04/25/22 12:17 PM ET
UVa is a national blue blood in sucktitude.**
NokieHokie • 04/24/22 12:04 PM ET
Like Bruce Smith said during the Spring Game-VT must recruit VA first!!**
STEAMBOAT • 04/24/22 11:50 AM ET
This will be a losing strategy & I bet Pry’ll mostly pay lip service to it**
marcbvtgm • 04/24/22 08:41 PM ET
I think most have identified the problem but how do we fix it?
VTCALS72 • 04/24/22 03:56 PM ET
It will take time which may not be on VT's side. Also, VT may have to pass
VTHokie2000 • 04/24/22 05:08 PM ET
There are plenty of busts in the top 10. Wait and see who is good.
Flanker • 04/24/22 11:19 AM ET
Gonna take some time… new staff is working hard to change **
Polito1 • 04/24/22 11:04 AM ET
^^^THIS^^^ Gonna take longer than 4 months. 🤔😁**
91HokieBob • 04/24/22 12:50 PM ET
Agree, four (4) years is probably a much more accurate time frame. Remember**

FLKEYSHOKIE • 04/24/22 04:48 PM ET
Given the role the Portal now plays in college football, it could be done
VTHokie2000 • 04/24/22 04:56 PM ET
The portal might be a very positive route to a quicker turnaround for the
FLKEYSHOKIE • 04/24/22 05:19 PM ET
I do agree with you that Pry is probably a better judge of (silence)
VTHokie2000 • 04/24/22 05:25 PM ET
Will VT get a new coach recruiting bump or is it all about NIL**
hokeyhokie • 04/24/22 08:23 AM ET
Some schools are getting recruiting bumps with new coaches.**
Jeffroww • 04/24/22 12:47 PM ET
Good question, I guess a bump relative to what? I think yes relative to the
BG Hokie • 04/24/22 10:24 AM ET
In retrospect
crazylane • 04/24/22 05:03 PM ET
Recruiting is a 4 year effort
Mercury • 04/24/22 05:18 AM ET
He also got the university purse string holders
Pride_and_Joy • 04/24/22 11:11 AM ET
Respect for PSU and Franklin

Doubt that. If he knows the kids and thinks they're open, he'll call
Vienna_Hokie • 04/24/22 07:29 AM ET
